COAT AND PANTS HANGER ATTACHMENT FOR USE ON SUIT HANGERS Filed Sept. 1,1950 INVENTOR.

Patented Apr. 20, 1954 UNITED STATES OFFICE COAT AND PANTS HANGERATTACHMENT FOR USE ON SUIT HANGERS 1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to a coat hanging attachment for use on regularwire type suit hangers. It has for its main objects to provide such anattachment that will be highly efficient for the purpose intended,simple in structure, comparatively cheap to manufacture, easy to use,and extremely durable. At the present time there are various kinds ofattachments being used in combination with the regular standard type ofwire suit hangers but they have not proven entirely satisfactory in thatthey do not properly take care of the shoulder portion of a coat. Thepresent attachment will absolutely overcome such objection.

Other objects and advantages will appear from the drawings anddescription.

The present invention is an improvement upon hanger attachments shown inmy co-pending applications under Serial Number 85,327 filed April 4,1949, now Patent No. 2,597,509, dated May 20, 1952 and under SerialNumber 90,966 filed May 2, 1949, now Patent No. 2,601,442, dated June24, 1952 and under Serial Number 120,434 filed October 10, 1949 nowabandoned.

By referring generally to the drawings, part of this application, itwill be observed that Fig. l is a top plan view of the coat hangerattachment mounted upon a regular wire suit hanger; Fig. 2 is a frontelevational view of the coat hanger attachment mounted upon a regularwire suit hanger; Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is an enlargedfragmentary view of the coat hanger attachment and upper wire portion ofa regular wire suit hanger; Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5-5 ofFig. 4 showing part of the coat attachment, part of upper wire, and oneof the integral ribs and notches therein.

Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the severalviews.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the attachmentcomprises a shouldershaped member I having integral ribs 2 with notches3 therein, and depending integral extensions 4 and 5 with slots 6 and 1therein, and adapted to fit upon the upper wire portion 8 of a regularwire type suit hanger.

From the foregoing it will appear that in order to use the attachment itis only necessary to place the coat attachment upon the upper portion ofa regular standard type wire suit hanger with the wire 8 in two of thenotches 3, and the extensions 4 and 5 positioned astraddle of the sameupper wire portion. With the attachment thus mounted the assembly isready for long and satisfactory use.

The attachment may be made of any material suitable for the purpose, butI prefer to use plastic. Also the attachment may be made in differentsizes and capacities.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, I do not wish to limit same to the exact and precise detailsof structure, but reserve the right to make all modifications andchanges so long as they remain Within the scope of the invention and thefollowing claim.

Having described my invention I claim:

A. coat hanging attachment of the character described for use incombination with a wire type suit hanger comprising; a stilt piece ofthin material having a neck portion and shoulder portions shaped similarto the rear neck portion and adjacent shoulder portions of a human body,two integral ribs that extend in a substantially vertical direction onthe inner face of the neck portion, each of said ribs having a pluralityof notches therein that extend in a horizonta1 direction, an integraldepending extension on the under face of each shoulder portion, eachextension having a slot therein, two of said notches in the ribs andsaid slots in the depending extensions being adapted to fit upon theupper wire portion of a wire type suit hanger when the attachment ismounted thereon.
